[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2197003, member: 12170"] My point was that the "larger round doesn't necessarily translate into better terminal performance..." That doesn't mean there are no good loads for 7.62x39, just that bigger is not always better. 8M3 is deadly, but just because it is a 124grn bullet, don't think that it is conclusive that it is an '8M3' bullet. True 8M3 loadings have been rare over the last few years. The neck length on .308 M80 can run as high as 8", completely penetrating a human before beginning to yaw and tumble creating a 30 caliber through and through hole. Change that bullet to a 155 AMAX and the results are devastating. Given the choice, I would rather have M193 than M80, even though the 308 round is significantly larger and more powerful. [/QUOTE]
